System Manager
Making parts and voices invisible
Last updated: 07/30/2024
SmartScore allows you to create and manage "optimized" systems (systems that expand and collapse when parts are not played). Part visibility (or "hiding" a part from one or more systems) is managed either from the Staff Properties dialog or directly from the System Manager.

How it works …
1
Open the
System Manager by holding down

+ 
, by clicking on the
System Manager button 
in the
Tools tab or by going to .
2
Uncheck the part you wish to make "invisible".
3
In the
Apply section of the dialog, check
Visibility.
4
In the
Apply to section, make a selection from the pull-down menu. Choose the range of the score you want the part to be hidden:
System = Remove only from the active system
System + = Remove from active system and all subsequent systems
Score / Part = Remove only from the current Score Part
All = Entirely remove from the score
5
Select
Apply to apply your choices to the current document. Select
Apply to New to apply your choices to a new SmartScore document leaving the original document unchanged.
6
Push
OK to return to the score.
